1
The
wicked
flee
when
no
man
pursueth:
but
the
righteous
are
bold
as
a
lion.
2
For
the
transgression
of
a
land
many
[are]
the
princes
thereof:
but
by
a
man
of
understanding
[and]
knowledge
the
state
[thereof]
shall
be
prolonged.
3
A
poor
man
that
oppresseth
the
poor
[is
like]
a
sweeping
rain
which
leaveth
no
food.
4
They
that
forsake
the
law
praise
the
wicked:
but
such
as
keep
the
law
contend
with
them.
5
Evil
men
understand
not
judgment:
but
they
that
seek
the
LORD
understand
all
[things].
6
Better
[is]
the
poor
that
walketh
in
his
uprightness,
than
[he
that
is]
perverse
[in
his]
ways,
though
he
[be]
rich.
7
Whoso
keepeth
the
law
[is]
a
wise
son:
but
he
that
is
a
companion
of
riotous
[men]
shameth
his
father.
8
He
that
by
usury
and
unjust
gain
increaseth
his
substance,
he
shall
gather
it
for
him
that
will
pity
the
poor.
9
He
that
turneth
away
his
ear
from
hearing
the
law,
even
his
prayer
[shall
be]
abomination.
10
Whoso
causeth
the
righteous
to
go
astray
in
an
evil
way,
he
shall
fall
himself
into
his
own
pit:
but
the
upright
shall
have
good
[things]
in
possession.
11
The
rich
man
[is]
wise
in
his
own
conceit;
but
the
poor
that
hath
understanding
searcheth
him
out.
12
When
righteous
[men]
do
rejoice,
[there
is]
great
glory:
but
when
the
wicked
rise,
a
man
is
hidden.
13
He
that
covereth
his
sins
shall
not
prosper:
but
whoso
confesseth
and
forsaketh
[them]
shall
have
mercy.
14
Happy
[is]
the
man
that
feareth
alway:
but
he
that
hardeneth
his
heart
shall
fall
into
mischief.
15
[As]
a
roaring
lion,
and
a
ranging
bear;
[so
is]
a
wicked
ruler
over
the
poor
people.
16
The
prince
that
wanteth
understanding
[is]
also
a
great
oppressor:
[but]
he
that
hateth
covetousness
shall
prolong
[his]
days.
17
A
man
that
doeth
violence
to
the
blood
of
[any]
person
shall
flee
to
the
pit;
let
no
man
stay
him.
18
Whoso
walketh
uprightly
shall
be
saved:
but
[he
that
is]
perverse
[in
his]
ways
shall
fall
at
once.
19
He
that
tilleth
his
land
shall
have
plenty
of
bread:
but
he
that
followeth
after
vain
[persons]
shall
have
poverty
enough.
20
A
faithful
man
shall
abound
with
blessings:
but
he
that
maketh
haste
to
be
rich
shall
not
be
innocent.
21
To
have
respect
of
persons
[is]
not
good:
for
for
a
piece
of
bread
[that]
man
will
transgress.
22
He
that
hasteth
to
be
rich
[hath]
an
evil
eye,
and
considereth
not
that
poverty
shall
come
upon
him.
23
He
that
rebuketh
a
man
afterwards
shall
find
more
favour
than
he
that
flattereth
with
the
tongue.
24
Whoso
robbeth
his
father
or
his
mother,
and
saith,
[It
is]
no
transgression;
the
same
[is]
the
companion
of
a
destroyer.
25
He
that
is
of
a
proud
heart
stirreth
up
strife:
but
he
that
putteth
his
trust
in
the
LORD
shall
be
made
fat.
26
He
that
trusteth
in
his
own
heart
is
a
fool:
but
whoso
walketh
wisely,
he
shall
be
delivered.
27
He
that
giveth
unto
the
poor
shall
not
lack:
but
he
that
hideth
his
eyes
shall
have
many
a
curse.
28
When
the
wicked
rise,
men
hide
themselves:
but
when
they
perish,
the
righteous
increase.
